Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From Anne Rice, conjurer of beloved bestselling metaphysical tales and mystical ancient histories

“In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea . . . And all the world was shaken . . .”

In this ambitious, rich new vampire novel of vision and power, the indomitable vampire hero, Lestat de Lioncourt, returns . . . caught up in an urgent and fundamental quest to understand the origins of the Undead and the deeper meanings of existence for both mortals and immortals. Now Lestat, Prince of the vast tribe of the undead, finds himself at war with a strange, ancient, otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of his immortal body and spirit, and it is through this perilous and profound struggle that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times: a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent in the Atlantic Ocean.

As we learn of the mighty, resonant powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit. An exhilarating novel that deepens Rice’s vampire mythology as it brings together the ancient worlds and beings of the Vampire Chronicles and opens up to us a whole new universe of characters, history, storytelling, and legend.
